Yes, it's a Christmas post... but I have a few things I haven't been able to catch you all up on.

Like the fact that Riley was not left out when it came to the gifts. My friend Kathy had dropped by with some Christmas treats (which I'm not ashamed to say I finished off like a pro) and a little treat for Riley, as well.

Does she know my dog or what?

Because I'm telling you, peeps... he has a tendency to switch between the modes of naughty and nice multiple times a day. Like the other day when I was on the phone with Linda talking about my grocery list and he walked up and PEED.ON.MY.SHOE.

Jealous much? Need a little attention? Yeah... rest assured that little move got him plenty of attention, it just may not have been exactly the kind he was looking for originally.

All of that naughty/nice bipolar behavior wore the little dude out.

And apparently Santa had been watching, because he brought Riley the most appropriate gift for his stocking. Trust me when I say that nothing screams Riley more than a shirt that says, "I Have Issues."

Hey Sara :)I've been neglecting my blog but just saw your comment. So amazing that you got your dream camera! I can spend hours trying to get the perfect picture of something, kind of nerdy but I love it.

I don't use flash, it always comes out too bright/artificial. I try to get daylight. I love the macro setting of course, for flowers etc. I just play around with it a lot and figure stuff out.

I posted some of my pictures here if you want to check them out:http://www.flickr.com/photos/marijevisser/

Love the pictures of Riley, my cat is my favorite 'object' as well ;-)

I'm glad you got your new camera too, those pictures of that Riley are stinkin adorable! The Boo once peed on my foot while I was holding another puppy! He's used to it now since I kept getting puppies...keep taking those picture Sara I love 'em!

Out of the blue the other day in the car Nolan says "Mom, do you think Sara knew Riley had issues like getting riled up when visitors come and thats why she named him Riley? Like you named me Nolan and you have to say NO to me all the time!" HA!

Love that dog! And that kid : ) Its a pleasure as always to come here and see what you've cooked up for us!!!!

Our next door neighbor's 90 lb. lab once peed on my foot when I was trying to get my chihuahua's leash untangled from the swing set. My husband would have helped me if he hadn't been laughing so hard. ;)

Heee heee. Do ya think he'd let me borrow the one that says "I Have Issues."? That is sooo me.

The cat I'm keeping for my England living nephew pee'd on my brand new Christmas tree skirt. No lie. For 15+ years I've had the same tree skirt and finally decide to buy a new one and I go to pack it away and the varmint has pee'd on it. Like Riley though, I just can't stay mad at him forever.
